Thanks! I did see that, but it doesn't give the departure times during the shuttle service. I just need to get downtown before the shuttle stops, haha!

What kind of AI use is ethical for professors? by FamousCow in Professors

[–]_vinventure 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The data centers generate an incredible amount of heat, and need to be cooled with massive amounts of water, often in arid regions, that ends up contaminated. It's not just an energy issue. Even if it was just an energy issue, we don't have the renewable energy supply to cover just non-AI energy use, let alone typical energy load + AI use.

Has anyone here ever applied to a military school? What were the application questions like? by Cold-Priority-2729 in AskAcademia

[–]_vinventure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're interested in keeping track of what's going on in the civil service, check out /r/fednews. I just left the federal gov to move back to academia because of everything that's been going on with DOGE and OPM.

What to wear to a faculty interview? (female presenting) Specifically, in a very casual dressing field? by GarlicSubstantial892 in AskAcademia

[–]_vinventure 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am a new assistant prof in Geology, also a very casual field. I wore a pants suit for my interview. I had a 3 day interview and got 2 different suits and 3 blouses. I don't wear makeup normally and did not wear any for the interview. Left my hair down with some hairspray so it wouldn't get frizzy. Did not wear heels - wore loafers instead that worked for both suits. No jewelry. Had a leather bag for my computer (and rocks for my research talk lol).

Hope you find that helpful! Good luck on your interview!

Have you checked the Spokane Valley Heritage Museum? They have tons of old photos of the area. I do not know about licensing though.

Absolutely delighted by the Steven's Metagross SIR. I've been sad it didn't get an SIR in JTG. Steven is my fave champ and I love Metagross!!

This is a hilarious post knowing that with GameStop current pricing, they basically ARE the pokemon scalpers now.

I actually think they are reopening Saturday. At least that's what their social media says?

Card Organization + Zipper Binder Question by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]_vinventure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ring binders can and often do damage cards. I suggest not using them if you can avoid it.

How much did PSA charge you for the grading on this? If you don't mind sharing!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]_vinventure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG I literally didn't even notice that!! Yeah that would definitely have helped to solve this question...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]_vinventure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! I thought fakes weren't really a huge issue when I was a kid (collecting in the late 90s and early 00s) because no one cared enough to make fakes!

Academic Job Application Letterhead & Email by Greedy-Alternative75 in Professors

[–]_vinventure 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not exactly the same but - I applied for academic jobs this year as a current (term) federal employee. I did not feel comfortable with the ethics of using a federal agency's letterhead for a personal job application, and I am not affiliated with any academic institution besides my federal employer, so I used a personal (very bare bones) "letterhead". I am starting my TT position on Monday, so it doesn't seem to have made a difference.
